Inspired by COLORS!

I recently got this new Simon Says Stamp set "One with Nature" and was so eager to ink it up. Take a look at my craft desk and you'll know what I mean.

I was inspired by the colors in the magazine, so I kind of went "crazy" ... and colored pretty much every inch of the watercolor card stock.
First, I embossed the leaf image with Magenta Embossing Powder. I wanted to try this new powder (rather than white or black). I colored the leaf images with Spectrum Aqua. For the rest of the colorful part (mostly the top part), I applied Peerless Watercolors. I did the silver embossing and took the inspiration from the sentiment.I added a piece of Navy Blue card stock to ground the images. What do you think? Too colorful?

You can never have toooo much colour Virginia! Love the card especially using a different colour embossing powder for the leaves outline. Thank you for the documentation of the beautiful birds nesting in your garden.

I think this is possibly the best set Simon has yet to release. It's also my favorite. :) I have seen it used many times, but never with so much color! And now I love it even more. Your colors are gorgeous! Thank you for the inspiration!
